Hi John and Doves,

I know this is a long post however there is a succession of dreams presented here  that are interrelated and climax to the final revelation. I received all of them in past 4 months.  I hope it blesses you all as much as it has me.

Dream 1: Lion in Cathedral 11/20/12

I found myself in an ornate cathedral much like what you would see in the Church of England (think Westminster Abbey). There was a lot of activity inside with all kinds of people both clergy and non-clergy milling about almost like they were waiting for some event/ceremony to commence in the church. The cathedral had arches along the sides of its main seating  area which led to small room sized alcoves. I noticed that there was a large male lion lying on its side either sleeping or dead in one of the alcoves. I then saw where the lion got up and slowly walked out of the alcove towards the front of the assembly of people. He then stood on his hind legs and began to affectionately "wrestle" or hug  the people standing around in front near the altar similar to how you see a bear play wrestle with a human. I was quietly watching from a distance still a bit afraid that this was indeed  a powerful lion after all.

Interpretation Thoughts:  Was a wedding was about to take place.  The lion almost behaved as a groom would at the front of the church, horsing around with groomsmen etc. as he awaits his bride's arrival.

Dream 2: Royal Wedding Prep 1/20/13

I find myself in an ornate, dark wood paneled drawing room.  Room looked like it was inside a grand European castle.  There were many people in this room milling about and others working feverishly to get last minute preparations completed. I notice I am dressed in a beautiful ivory colored ball gown. I quickly learn that I am in a grand wedding of royalty.  I was not clear about my role  as either one of the attendants  or perhaps the bride.

I am introduced to an aristocratic older lady who I understand is instructing me on proper protocol for this event.  She tells me that I am to wear this tiara/crown that she places on me. I am not of royal lineage so I do not own a crown by birth, but have to be given this crown to wear for the upcoming event.  I am then introduced to my bodyguard – a young man in street clothes.  He points out to me in the room who are the other undercover security personnel so I could recognize them.  I am then introduced to a man in charge of the entertainment and publicity for the event.  I remember trying to quickly text my mom’s neighbor (this lady has been my neighbor since I was a young child) to let her know that I was in this event which would occur just after midnight that very night and that I would be seated to the right  (perhaps during the parade). Apparently I thought it would be televised somehow and she could see me. I then recall someone adjacent to me spilling a drink on the floor and I have to quickly save the train of my  dress from getting wet.

At this point I am being quickly ushered to the exit door of this room beyond which I understand is waiting the transportation to this  event. A lady spritzes me at the doorway with some expensive perfume just at the point where I had reached into my bag and was trying to spritz myself with some cheap body mist/cologne.  I was a bit embarrassed about my cheap cologne.        

Interpretation Thoughts: I was given a message  through my spouse that verified that in fact I was the bride. I believe my confusion regarding being one of the attendants had to do with the sense that there were many of us being prepared as I was.  After contemplating this I understand that this is perhaps indicative of the bride made up of many of the redeemed. The tiara indicates the believers crowns. THe dress being at risk of getting wet indicates the attacks of the enemy aimed at soiling our garments through sin.   Is the cheap cologne indicative of our worldly efforts to try and ready ourselves for this where it is the Holy Spirit that readies us?  Are the body guards the spiritual protection being given to us as we are being readied for this event and unveiling?

Dream 3: "Passover Bride" 2/19/13

After an entire night of spiritual warfare - very little of which I recall in detail other than awakening a couple of times shouting or fighting the adversary - I received the following clear word on awakening " Passover Bride"

Interpretation: I have never thought of the passover as being a likely feast date for the bride's removal (instead considered Pentecost or Trumpets).  However as I began to study this message  I came across this site: http://www.goldensheaves.org/pages/passover_bride_31.html  As I meditated on this further I recalled that Firstfruits  was originally calculated as the sunday after the sabbath of Passover week and actually falls during Passover week. At Christ's resurrection on Firstfruits we are told in end of Matthew that many dead saints rose with Him.  I will post a separate posting from another website with details on this for those who may not have encountered this before. Lastly the story of Ruth came to mind wherein she as the gentile bride was wed to Boaz at the  time of the  barley harvest. Recall Perry Stone's metaphor of barley harvest versus wheat harvest versus grape harvest matching up with Firstfruits rapture of the prepared bride, trib main harvest (is this mid or pre-wrath?) and post trib removal of wicked for judgment.

Dream 4: Dream of Family Funeral 3/12/13

 

I had been asleep I estimate less than 30 minutes. I saw a man wearing a gold crown.  Not a lot of details regarding the man’s face however the crown was clearly seen.  It was a classic circular shape – a gold band encircling on which rose many triangular peaks with a small sphere atop each triangular peak. The crown was made entirely of gold – no jewels that I could recollect seeing.

Later in the evening as I was having trouble sleeping due to a cold I asked the Lord for a dream and I received the following:

I am in an open outside area almost like a small asphalt parking lot with pews.  At the front of this array of pews I see a white canopy tent covering.  Underneath I see open caskets - one large adult sized casket with a white middle aged man and five or six (not sure) child sized caskets in bright colors to the right with white children in them. I assume perhaps that the caskets reflect each child’s favorite color.   I understand that it was a church family involved in a car accident where all passengers were killed. It is obviously a very sad thing to see. I get up to go into a 2 story building adjacent to the tent. I enter a small room and have to be careful to not let these small furry creatures out (I’m thinking they were small bunnies or perhaps hamsters).  I go back outside and walk by the tent when I notice that one of the children’s eyes twitch. I think to myself that perhaps it’s stored electrical energy in the nervous system dissipating (think frog leg twitching in science class). I notice another body do the same. I then see movement starting in one of the bodies then progress to the others. Finally one of the  boys sits up in the casket!  I am now frightened and wonder how I could ever get involved in a ministry of healing or raising the dead if this is scaring me so.  Eventually all the  children get up as does the father. Two of the little boys (estimate 7-8 years old) come towards me and my first impulse is to get them into our car (Dean is driving) to take them to the hospital where they can get checked out.  I ask them what heaven was like, however I don’t remember them replying.  They didn’t speak much at all.

As we’re driving to the hospital we drive by a small cemetery nestled into a corner lot of an old part of town (buildings are 1-2 stories high).  I begin to see unclothed bodies all very white sit up and get out of the graves.

I now realize that these kids were not brought back from death, but resurrected “saints”!

Interpretation Thoughts:

Do the colored caskets and the “bunnies” provide a clue to timing of this event? I had never seen colored caskets so I googled term "colored caskets".  I couldn't believe my eyes.  At about the 28th image was a picture of a straw basket (they called casket) with colored eggs.  Eggs have long symbolized the risen Christ (look up the tale of May Magdalene at Tiberius' court in wiki. Does the white canopy above the caskets symbolize the Jewish wedding ketubah? Were the whiteness of the bodies indicative of their glory?

Final Comments:

Taking all of this collectively I am wondering if the Lord is pointing to this Passover as the unveiling of the bride. We'll know soon enough.  If not this Passover, I feel certain that Passover is our day.

Blessings in Christ and Maranatha!
